Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

I walked along the place where the waiter came in, and found a small corner door at the back of the main hall, where the waiter and Mei Sanniang went out.

I gently opened the corner door a crack and found a larger palace outside. Although I have never seen what a palace looks like, I feel that this is almost the same as a palace.

The inner pillars of the main hall are also supported by many stone pillars, but the carvings on each pillar are no longer lotuses, but spiraling, lifelike five-clawed dragons, which is even more spectacular.

There is a high platform built at the north end, with a huge dragon chair on it, and a person sitting on it, it is Mei Sanniang!

There was a bead curtain hanging in front of him, and below stood waiters and people like thugs. There were four people I knew, namely the three men who ate in the tavern that night and the sissy. They were tied up with ropes in the middle of the hall. There were about ten handsome young men.

At this time, Mei Sanniang said: "This is a dirty world. Your parents lived like ants, and were trampled on like pigs and dogs by the superior people. They had no food to eat and no warm clothes to wear. It's different now. As long as we join the Red Lotus Sect, we can also live a good life. As long as you are comfortable serving those high officials, you can get whatever you want!" After saying that, he ordered the waiter to fetch more than a dozen sets of Yunjin plain robes, and Dozens of gold coins were handed to the dozen teenagers below.

There were some teenagers below who had never seen gold and such beautiful clothes. Some of them had been brainwashed and shouted excitedly: "I am willing to join the Red Lotus Sect!"

Mei Sanniang nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Today is your first day of joining the religion. I hope you can be obedient and obedient in the future. You will have endless glory and wealth, but don't violate the rules of the religion. Once you do, You will find that death is the easiest. Protect the law on the left and read the canon."

After saying that, one of the tough men who looked like a thug stood up. He took out a brocade book from his arms and read to the teenagers. I found that he was wearing a lotus-painted armor on the little finger of his left hand holding the brocade book, which was the same as the armor of the corpses I saw in the underground cellar.

After listening to him read some random rules, it was nothing more than being loyal to the Red Lotus Sect, not violating the leader's instructions, etc. The last item was the rite of initiation. After reading the canon, the waiter took a short knife and pressed a young man's left hand on the stone table. He raised the knife and dropped it without any hesitation. The pain caused the young man to faint.

Seeing that the young man was unconscious, they found powder to stop the bleeding and applied it to him. They wrapped his wound with gauze and carried him out of the hall. One of them, a boy with a bruise on his forehead, broke free and ran out, but was escorted back after a while and pushed to the ground.

"Are you here again? Last time you banged your head against the wall and refused to die. Now that you're here this time, I'm afraid you can't help it. Do you want your family to die with you?" Mei Sanniang said as she approached the boy, He held his face and said:

"You have such a handsome face. Youth is so wonderful. As long as you obey me, I will ensure that you enjoy the food and drink. I will also take care of your family. I guarantee that they will not be bullied again."

The boy stared at Mei Sanniang without saying a word. Mei Sanniang smiled again, "You are still a child, I don't care about you. Forget it, you should calm down first and think about what I said. But my patience is limited. After tomorrow night, if you are still so strong, don't blame me. My brothers are still waiting to try it out. They are all good at training young children!" After that, he and The waiters and thugs laughed together.

They tied up the boy and dragged him down. At this time, Protector Zuo stepped forward and continued to report:

"What should we do with the new little girls we bought at Happy House?"

"It's better to leave it to Ye Fengniang to train and train her. If there are any thorny ones who are disobedient, follow the old rules. Such disobedient women cannot be kept!"

At this time, the sissy that day bowed deeply and said with a smile: "If you have the order, just leave it to me. I won't let the lord down."

At this time, Mei Sanniang suddenly said to where I was hiding: "Mr. Guo, you have been soaking in the ice for so long, come in and warm yourself up."

I went, I was discovered, I heard her call Mr. Guo, my hair stood on end immediately, and I broke into a cold sweat. This old lady knew I was coming, why didn’t he expose me on the spot? She was so angry of. Now that he already knows I'm here, I don't need to hide. No matter what, he will be a good man again after 18 years.

I slowly pushed the door open, strode to the center of the hall, looked like a bitch, and said with a smile:

"Sister Mei, you're welcome. I'm polite here." She said and bowed to Sanniang Mei. Mei Sanniang smiled faintly again, and this smile made me feel a little dazed again. He was so beautiful, but when I thought of what he looked like just now, I immediately came back to my senses.

"Why is Mr. Guo so elegant and happy to come to my place?"

"Sister Mei, I missed you very much today, so I came here. Didn't you ask me to come and play often?"

"Hey, this little mouth is quite sweet, which is really rare. You saw it just now, would you consider joining us? I just like a romantic young man like you."

I looked like a scoundrel again and took a few steps closer to Mei Sanniang, "But Sister Mei, I only like women who are fragrant and good-looking like my sister. I'm really not interested in smelly men. And I'm really afraid of pain, or... It’s better to save your fingers.”

Mei Sanniang still didn't look angry, she just said calmly: "Well, as long as you enter here, you will either join the religion, or you will have to go out sideways. You are very popular with me, but I can't mess with the rules of the religion. "After saying that, he put his cold, slender hand on my shoulder, like a ghost hand, so cold and frosty that it made people feel frightened.

Alas, I think I am really finished now. Either I will lose my finger and join the religion, or my life will definitely be lost.

"Sister Mei, please allow me two days of ideological struggle. At least I have to say goodbye to the innocent boy I used to be." Mei Sanniang burst into laughter and said:

"You're so naughty, okay, I'll let you go for two days, but you're going to suffer!" After saying that, he asked his men to tie me up, blindfold me, and knock me out. My eyesight went dark and I lost it. perception.

When I woke up, I found myself locked in an underground cellar with water on all sides. It was nailed up with wood on all sides. It felt like a water prison. This fucking place is really not a place for humans. He was locked up in a water prison up to his waist. He could not sit or lie down. His hands were tied to the top of the water prison and he could only stand on his toes. His whole body felt like it was falling apart. of discomfort. The water prison exuded a musty smell, which made me shiver from the cold.

I was blindfolded, but my ears became extremely sensitive. I listened carefully and found that I was not the only one in the water prison. I heard the breathing and sobbing of several people.

I spoke loudly, "Who else is here?"

A boy's voice: "There are a few of us who are unwilling to join the church. Yesterday, one of us was executed. I heard from the cell leader that his death was too miserable. Not only was he strangled to death, but his body was also cut off." Little brother, I said that even if I die, I won’t be reincarnated.” After saying this, he trembled and cried.

At this time, several boys started crying and said they didn't want to die. I saw that crying like this wouldn't solve the problem, so I shouted loudly: "Since none of you are willing to join the Red Lotus Sect, it proves that you are all men. Why are you crying? It's a bit bloody, okay?" The crying gradually stopped.

I was blindfolded and couldn't see, so I was very anxious, so I said to them: "Try to see who can reach me with your feet, and find a way to take off my blindfold, and I'll see if there is any other way to get out."

At this time, I felt a foot lightly kick my waist, and I said: "You can reach my blindfold if you go up a little bit, try again."

He tried his best to put one leg on my shoulder, and then slowly touched my blindfold with his other foot. He held the blindfold between his toes and pulled it up hard. I could finally see!

I saw the boy clearly, the one who had just been taken away. He said to me: "Brother, can you help us escape?"

I nodded my head vigorously and asked him: "Looking at your legs, how did they get you here?"

The boy said: "I was sold by my father to sing Xiaodan in a theater troupe when I was a child. When I was 13 years old, I failed to lose my voice. The theater troupe saw that I was of no use, so I was sold here. I know they wanted me to work for officials. He was a pedophile, but he didn’t agree to it. Last time he hit his head against the wall and he didn’t die, but this time he was imprisoned again.”

He was the little boy when I eavesdropped in the suburbs that day. Alas, I was really moved by the young man in front of me. He is so unfortunate at such a young age, but he is also a good-hearted man. I admire him from the bottom of my heart.

I said to him: "What is your name?" The boy said: "My name is Ge Tianbao."
